The Zoo de la Barben
more than just a zoo!
Nestling in greenery and basking in the scents of the Mediterranean, the Barben Zoo is at the heart of the Provence region, 5km away from Salon and halfway between Marseille and Avignon.
In this rare and unique setting at the heart of a 33 hectare forest of evergreen oaks, on a plateau dominating the region of Salon, 600 animals from 120 different species live together.
Barben zoo also has...
...
the curious and fascinating world of reptiles, basking in the humid warmth of a restored 12th century sheep shed...
... and the deafening and joyful singing of a multitude of birds from all five continents.
